Extensive tagging of publications

Media analysis is only possible when publications are tagged. BuzzTalk is a very powerfull tagging engine which enables a variety of analysis.

Available tags for media analysis

Using tags it’s easy to extract the who, what, where and when from a large list of publications. But there’s more.

Bare sentiment and ontology based sentiment

BuzzTalk can determine the sentiment of tweets, posts and articles on websites, blog and forums. It can do this with 90% accuracy, which is very high. This enables you to track sentiments across time for your brand.

You can view the bare sentiment as a calculated average of sentiment detected within an article. Also, you can view the ontology based sentiment which is the sentiment in relation to a particular subject.
